PSG claim record home win with 9-0 thrashing of Guingamp

Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani both scored hat-tricks as Paris Saint-Germain romped to their biggest-ever home win with a 9-0 Ligue 1 thrashing of Guingamp.

The runaway league leaders exacted sweet revenge on bottom club Guingamp, who had ended their bid for a sixth straight League Cup title earlier this month in Paris.

It was PSG's largest victory at the Parc des Princes, beating an 8-0 win over Dijon 12 months ago, but fell narrowly short of equalling their biggest win in total -- a 10-0 French Cup thumping of Cote Chaude in 1994.

The capital club, who lead second-placed Lille by 13 points with two games in hand, have dropped just four points in their opening 19 matches of the season as they bid for an unbeaten league campaign.

Neymar also scored twice as PSG's front three took their combined tally for the season to 58 goals, while Mbappe extended his advantage in the Ligue 1 scoring charts having netted 17 times in only 14 appearances.

Coach Thomas Tuchel did see Marco Verratti forced from the field with what he later described as a "serious injury", with the Italian now a doubt for PSG's Champions League last-16 tie against Manchester United next month.

"It's possible he'll miss a few weeks," said the German. "Marco's injury changes everything. Playing without Marco is completely different, I think it's serious. It's hard."
